Q: Cannot get ex tenant to pay rent, owe's me for 8 months. Yell's at me for asking. I have no money left. I am a disabled
The bad thing is he is my Son . I pay the Taxes,water, and Ins. He suppose to maintain the lawn but that is also a disaster. He made the place look so bad that I can't sell the property for a good price. And things look bad since he moved in. The first year he paid for three months then stopped Raft paid for the next twelve months when that was up last September he has not paid rent until present. He has no lease that ran out in July of last year. I asked him to move then he igone's my calls. Swears at me and I do not know where to turn. I just had back surgery and have alot of medical problems. He is in a big 3 bedroom to bath house with a huge garage. I have no where to turn my money is drained from the rental property. I am in danger of losing everything because I had to charge my credit card to keep going.
A: If he had a lease and stayed over the expiration he is still a tenant and the eviction process called summary process is needed. You can contact an attorney who specifically handles landlord tenant matters and if son is disabled this would especially be advisable.
